The thing that bothered me about this case was that he never seemed remorseful or genuinely shocked. I find that telling
You're right about that, his reaction is unrealistic as is his "failure" to realize that his sleepwalking issue might have something to do with suddenly recovering from a blackout with the police accusing him of murder just screams a misjudged attempt to be cunning by using his sleepwalking as a convenient get-out-of-jail-free card.
How could it possibly not occur to him that his sleepwalking thing must be to blame if he wasn't lying???
Same. I kinda detect psychopathy
Unbelief is one way to deal with grief and guilt. As is distancing yourself from the problem.
It didnât disturb you that the neighbor witnessed a murder and did nothing to intervene
Are you blind? He cries, you can hear how he struggles to speak multiple times. I don't think he was awake.
My son sleepwalks and has night terrors and sometimes a combination of the two. He doesn't do anything complex when sleepwalking. He mostly walks around and talks. He occasionally tries to leave the house but even then, he'd just be walking in his pjs. If he had been sleepwalking by the pool he would have fallen in the pool. In my opinion from my experiences sleepwalkers usually talk, pick stuff up, sometimes eat a snack, walk around and that's about it. The part that seems the most suspicious to me is that he brought a flashlight. My son (who is scared of the dark) never ever notices the darkness when sleepwalking. Not once. He's 11 now and has panic attacks if we lose power at night but he'll walk outside alone in the dark with no fear when he sleepwalks. Nope I agree with the jury, that guy killed his wife.
The bandaid đ©č. Thatâs the clencher for me. I âsleepwalkâ, and have done some complex tasks, like cooking and cleaning up, intimacy, etc.
The deal is, Iâve been injured but have never recognized that I was injured, nor treated it properly. I usually notice the dry blood in the morning and wonder how I got hurt.
Sleepwalkers usually repeat mundane tasks, things done regularly and repeatedly. Iâd agree with the jury too
He didnât expect the neighbor to catch him in the act. He was not sleepwalking. Itâs astounding how gullible people are.
He's not the one who brought up sleepwalking, though. He was about to plead guilty.
EDIT: I'm not saying I believe he was sleepwalking.
exactly. The fact that they used sleepwalking as a defense is quite hilarious.
I cannot say i do not believe he was sleepwalking. People WANT to believe the worst.
Unless youâve been through it yourself, you wouldnât understand. I was staying in hospital a couple of years ago and half way through the night I got out of bed, yanked out my IV drip, mopped up all the blood with my NHS pyjamas đ„ž and put them into a carrier bag in the locked bedside cupboard.. changed into regular clothes, left the hospital via 10 flights of stairs, flagged down a taxi and went home. No recollection whatsoever. I woke up in my own bed with numerous missed calls from the hospital/my parents/the Police, and was told to stay put until an ambulance came to take me back. If I hadnât been told all of that I would have sworn that Iâd just gone to sleep at the hospital and woke up the next day.. no drama!
I would have believed his sleep walking defense if he stabbed her and then walked off and did random other things. But him going back inside and then coming back out and drowning her, no wayâŠheâs guilty.
i thought the same thing
I agree, he just seems too aware of things going on. I agree with you if he was doing random things such as trying to plant a flower in the oven then he would have a leg to stand on.
Exactly! That's bs!
I love how they debunked him wearing a jacket and carrying a torch, meaning he knew in "his sleep walking state" that it was night and it was cold.
right. that's one of the first things I thought of and also the fact that he came back to his wife after he already stabbed her to then drown her, if you're sleeping you're not gonna come back to finish off the job.
I don't know much about sleep walking but the fact that he was wearing gloves while killing her shows that it was murder. So sad, rip
Good point! I forgot about that. Changes the whole dynamics for me, more so than the hunting knife
I canât believe he thought he could get away with it. Glad the people that mattered saw through it.
That is despicable interviewing the kids like that. They should never have been exposed to questions like that. đ
Yeah, he didnt sleep walk. Thats an insult to intelligent people.
I completely agree. I had the same thought when it came to those young kids and interview questions
I thought that interviewing the kids by the reporter before the trial was so wrong. I don't understand how that could occur. As the kids were minors, who provided approval for the interview??
@@viliabone1952 right?! And what kind of questions are that??
âHave you thought about your dad being put to death for killing your mom?â
Like. WtfâŠ
That was terrible.
I thought that too. I couldnât believe the deplorable things that reporter was asking those poor, traumatised children!
No way was this sleepwalking. Cleaning up, changing clothes, even putting a plaster on an injury. The only reason he left so much evidence was because he wasn't banking on a neighbour seeing him and calling the police before he could clean up.
As far as I know, when you are sleep walking you donât realize what you are doing, good or badâŠtherefore the fact that he hid the bloody clothes and knove, washed his hands is very suspicious
My dad would sleep walk. He would even make grilled cheese sandwiches, and remember to turn the burner off. They know what they're doing, but they don't at the same time.
@@benr.4238 yes but thatâs because heâs done it before while awake. Itâs habit. Itâs not habit to murder your wife and hide the evidence and wash your hands.
â@@Bubble170 he has a hunting knife and that was for hunting, maybe that is what he thought he was doing. This is definitely reasonable doubt imo. I also respect you opinion â€
that's what I said and the fact that he didn't find the dog as a threat or anything and why would he come BACK for his wife after he already stabbed her? like if you're sleep walking you're not gonna come back to finish off the job.
Yeah itâs like youâre literally sleeping. When I was little and would sleep walk I would wake up and have no clue I had ever gotten out of bed. My family would tell me later, but I had no conscious thought.
Juan Martinez was a tough, no-nonsense prosecutor who saw through this guy's BS! He also prosecuted Jodi Arias.
Prosecutors don't believe anything!!! They're no different to a lawyer that believes their client is guilty but still defends them. It's all just a game of narratives & in a case like this, it's all about the performance, not the facts.
He was and I've read his book on the Arias case which is very good. It's a shame he turned out to be a bit of a scum bag and got disbarred.
â@@DejaVuJT
Do you remember why he was disbarred?
@@vi9763 sexual harassment complaints, also accused of misconduct in the jodi arias case
@@vi9763 After a 30-year career as a prosecutor, high-profile lawyer Juan Martinez has agreed to be disbarred.
The disbarment comes two days after a November trial had been scheduled involving a State Bar of Arizona complaint against Martinez.
The complaint involved allegations that Martinez sexually harassed women he worked with at the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. The state Bar, which investigates lawyers, also accused Martinez of leaking information to a blogger during the Jodi Arias murder trial and lying to investigators about having a sexual relationship with her.
My husband sleepwalks, he's only been violent once when he hit me thinking I was a spider because my hair had tickled his face. I've found him doing all sorts of things, but there is no way he'd ever carry out something as complicated as all of this, there were so many things that would've woken him up and too many back and forth actions that a sleepwalker couldn't do.
@@stelmosfire11Wow. She literally explained why he swatted her hair. He wasnât hitting her, he was hitting a spider. Get over yourself.
@@stelmosfire11fool đ Iâm a female and I sleep talk and turn bedside lamps on. Iâve sat up talking and punched my partner in the face đł I donât recall ever doing these things.
â@@stelmosfire11 I get scared thinking my own hair is a spider while being fully awake đ!!
â@@cashewisnotanut4409I wake myself up talking and shouting, sitting up in bed. My sister used to try and hold conversations with me, then she'd crack up laughing. I do lots of weird crap when sleepwalking. I picked up my bedside rug once, and put it somewhere very, very safe, because we've never been able to find it. I have also broken my own nose lol!
@@cashewisnotanut4409 youâre the fool. You describe it as though youâre describing a ham sandwich. Get medical help and fix the problem. Youâre a danger to your family.
I was sleep walking one night,i took my car alarm and turned on my gas stove put the alarm over it,i burnt my hand thankfully and awoke,we had a camera in the kitchen and i looked so natural like i was widely awake. Its scary stuff.
The woman interviewing the children is a monster.
I thought the same. Disgusting tbh
@@joutoob9 I think you mean Connie Chung
What a horrible thing to say to a child. Who the heck does she think she is?
@@kylieh123 exactly. Geez, why!?
Connie Chung was a pretty respectable journalist. That's just a short portion of an interview.
Thank you for presenting excellent content. Never disappoints.đ
He murdered her⊠the fact he put gloves on and dragged her into the water and held her under⊠like cmon now. How can there be any doubt???
They know that for a fact, the issue is his history of sleep walking.
@@MikadoYumathe gloves make his sleep walking issue harder to prove. He could have woken up multiple times through the killing and touching then water. He also put on gloves to hide evidence and wore a jacket being aware of it being cold
he put the evidence in his car..thats a conscious act... not consistent with sleep walking
I am a lifelong sleepwalker. I've played the piano in the middle of the night, and even woken up standing in the driveway in the middle of the night, staring at the house. Even so, I can't imagine harming anyone when sleepwalking, because it's not something in my nature to do when awake, much less asleep.
just another grift murderers use to âtryâ to get away with it . same as âhearing demonsâ
I used to sleepwalk until recently. If i even thought i was harming somebody else in my dream, I wouldâve woken up in a cold sweat. So weird that the pool water didnât wake him up. Very skeptical :/
Itâs not a one size fits all outcome. Someone in the comments lived with a sleepwalker who was never violent yet she awoke to him with his hands around her neck one night. Not squeezing, but definitely a terrifying situation.
Same here. Iâll wake up in an outfit instead of pajamas or with makeup, ( after a 10 step k-beauty care routine,) a different hairstyle. Iâve even journaled, but it was nonsensical gibberish. Never anything sinister, just ridiculous.
I sleepwalked once when I was 9 yrs. old. I walked down the stairs, holding a stuffed dog that also had a place to store pajamas, and walked over to my stepfather and said, "Mister, will you take care of my dog?" I had no memory of doing this at all. My father had died when I was 6yrs old (he drowned) and my mother had remarried just a few months before the sleepwalking incident. We had moved from my home country of Canada to the U.S. and my Grandma, with whom we have lived, had sent me the dog. So I would say I was pretty stressed by all the losses, the huge changes in my life and uncertainty about my new stepfather.
You'd think if someone legitimately committed a horrific crime while sleep walking, when you woke up and realized what you did would utterly destroy you..? It's such BS
How can we tell if something has "destroyed" someone?
@@eadweard.I donât know if youâre being serious or not but âââ to answer that, typically they would be extremely distraught and emotional. ie, crying, visibly upset when talking to anyone, showing some kind of emotion, etc. When he was interviewed by the detective he wasnât doing any of those things, in fact he acted as if he was asleep, no pun intended đđ«ą
@@shawnmaria9064 Well that's how movies depict it.
â@@eadweard.That's how real people show emotions. If you don't have emotions you don't know how to act. I'm not overly emotional but did send a family member to the hospital by accident when I was 11 and it still affects me to this day. Not where I can't function but it gets to me when I think about it. I couldn't even fathom how id feel if I accidently killed them. đ„șđ And yes I did cry a lot and couldn't believe what I had done.
@@fc5139 Why would you expect other people to respond in the same way that you would?
A sleepwalker would not wash his hands, put on gloves later to drown his wife, change his bloodied clothes several times, hide the bloodied clothes inside the car and go into in the garage, and trick his wife to come outside to attack her so his children would not be woken up. Sleepwalking is a dream state where normal instincts like guilt and rational thoughts like self protection are suppressed, thats why sleepwalkers do not sense danger and are often hurt, while drowning his wife he would have certAinly fallen into the pool with her. He blamed his wife for leaving her job and he having to be the sole provider and working at a job where he was not liked or wanted, his nerves were at breakung point, he wanted to be free of the burden of his family, his children may have been next, he looks like such a cold fish, thank god his neughbour spotted hm.
I agree, he knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to get rid of his wife. Thought the 'sleepwalking' would get him off. No way!
Agreed!
How do you know? I mean, I'm not saying he WAS sleepwalking, but how could anyone know what someone is capable of?
I'm torn on this case considering there is more evidence of him being a good husband and father than anything else. There is definitive evidence of his sleepwalking and unusual brain waves during sleep, and as someone with autism I know that not everyone with a brain condition behave in the same way as others, even with the same condition.
You don't understand sleepwalking like you think you do.
Your comment is a clear example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
internet detectives always make me laugh making comments on facts they know nothing about like they are experts in every aspect of the case, police detective, phycologist, forensic scientist, lawyer, judge, juror, witness, family member, sleep walking expert and on and on like they are know what happened and why. behave lol
It's so crazy that they say his behavior was too complex to be sleepwalking. Then there was the other case in Canada where a man slept drove 15 miles to kill his in-laws and the jury fully believed that he was asleep the whole time
Yess it's Saturday I'm off and u uploaded a video 4:46 and Coffeehouse Crime will upload one...super excited â€
I wonât lie, this is one baffling case. I canât say I have no doubt in me that he did it, but the evidence is painting a really grim picture. Itâs what happened after the murder that makes me lean towards murder, the rinsing of the hands, the moving of the body, the concealment of the weapon and other items of evidence.
I believe, him to be guilty
Of course he is. Heâs lying about anything else to try and pretend he didnt do it.
Here's my question: Who was he going to blame it on?
@@didi012578since he got caught by the neighbor he claims right away that he blacked out. Had the neighbor not seen him he wouldâve prob blamed it on a home invasion
@@didi012578 He already said he kissed her good night on the couch and went upstairs to sleep. He most likely would have staged it as a home break in.
@@didi012578 idk đ€·đŸââïž
My son used to sleep walk in younger age. He would come to my bedside and gaze at me sleeping. I would be awoken instinctively. He would tell me things about his dreams like he was actually experiencing it at that moment. He would act it out.He would talk and talk and sometimes cry if the dream was sad or bad. I would hold his shoulders and guide him back to his bedroom and console him quietly. Then he would fall back asleep instantly and would not remember the whole thing in the mornings. Happened quite a lot then. Thank goodness he is doing much better now he is grown up.
That actually sounds like a night terror specifically, did he just randomly stop at some point?
@schmalice666 he didn't really stop completely. He still wakes up ,walks and talks about random stuff occasionally but rarely these days. He would talk but you can see he's not focused on the here and now. But it has vastly been reduced now.
@salinnthind5848 my husband and son both have night terrors and despite the name, it's not always a nightmare per se. Kinda in the same boat where it rarely happens but you can tell they're not there when it does D: kinda scary just bc it can be dangerous for them! wishing all the best to you and your family!

A sleepwalker was found not guilty of murder here in the UK but he did not clean up the scene, wash his clothes etc. He immediately rang 999 (911) and was truly baffled by what had happened. He certainly didn't drag his victim to a pool and hold their down until she drowned after repeatedly stabbing her. It's only his family and him saying he sleepwalked but he never sought treatment for it. The "I don't remember... due to drink, drugs or psychotic episode" is very rarely believed by a jury. It's unprovable so the defence say the prosecution did not prove their case but I think it's mostly BS. His false remorse etc is pretty sickening. Guilty, no doubt.
Not buying sleepwalking, too many complex activities and an attempt to cover-up his actions. He may have been a family annihilator that was caught in the act before he could kill the children. The stressors of job insecurity could have led to the actions.
He could have been planning to kill the neighbours too.
Waiting every Saturday for the new crime story. â€ïž
Same!!!
Me too!
đđđ
The quality of your videos added to how frequently you post is honestly amazing thank you for your hard work
Guilty of cold blooded murder, sleep walking an excuse.
Very odd case đ€ There was something about that man that I wanted to believe. But the details about the murder and the activities that followed just after it make his story so unlikely and therefore unbelievable. So extraordinarily sad for their children đą đ
The screams from his wife would have been enough to wake him up if this was true.
Did she scream?
@@eadweard. 6:26
@@kimmyfreak200 Oh yes you are quite right. Many thanks.
Ive slept walked my entire life. My dad found me sharing a bowl of left over spaghetti-O's at around the age of four. I still sleepwalk every few weeks or so. Every partner ive ever had has more than a few stories. Ive always wondered what weird shit wasn't documented because i spent like 5 years completely alone after my wife and I separated. Worst thing/scariest was got out of bed and apparently wanted to cook a frozen cherry pie. I put it in and promptly left it. Almost burnt the house down. Ive woken up in my yard, my neighbor's yard or porch. Had whole conversations with people that i have zero recollection of. I started rearranging the bedroom with my wife still in bed. I still cant leave anything in the fridge for to long, because i ate some very spoiled leftovers once and ended up very sick
One thing is for sure about psychopaths, they are fantastic liars. I'm assuming that final interview he gave was during covid, as he was wearing a mask, and he was still denying knowingly murdering her. What a vile human being
I'm really looking forward to this video, as i always am with your uploads!
I think this is the earliest I've ever been to one of your uploads.
Wish they weren't needed, but while they are, keep up the awesome work guys! â€â€â€
Thank you! :) đ€
I think the neighbor saved those children's lives
My ex used to sleepwalk. Woke up one night to him standing on a ladder trying to rewire a light fixture. Another night woke up to him straddling me, with his hands around my throat. He was never violent, ever. He never remembered. Our son also would sleepwalk from the age of 2-5. He'd try to leave out the doors at night. We had alarms on all doors. You'd approach him and he would be wide eyed but not awake.
đ that must've been terrifying
That must have been a bit scary! Him up a ladder while asleep! Moreso when he seemed to be about to hurt you. Glad you all came through it OK.
A guy I know, while sleepwalking, smashed his own fist through a sheet glass door. I don't know many of the details, but do remember that it took a few operations to put his hand back together. He was physically hurt and emotionally affected for quite a while after.
Must be a big challenge, being a sleepwalker, and family thereof.
Is the straddling incident the reason he's your ex? Because jesus, you are one brave woman to have stayed with him after that.
Spooky...
How did you know he was asleep? Iâve been intimate with my husband while asleep. I only knew because my pajamas were across the room and I could just tell. He said he had no idea. Neither did I.
The jury got it right
RIP Yarmila. Thank you Truly Criminal đ
44 stab wounds is unhinged, unbridled rage.
So many cases where the murderâs memory goes blank at the crucial point, so convenient
my little sister used to sleep walk, and it genuinely can be the freakiest thing. i remember one night on vacation she sat bolt upright, threw off her blankets, and *sprinted* down the hall only to stop short in the kitchen and just.... look at everyone. i remember everyone thinking at first that she was just messing around because it was such an explosive series of moments only for her to stop and stand there just kind of blinking at everyone. she got guided back to bed and the next morning thought *we* were messing with *her* . Its like their body's at full power while their brain is on background mode. the most shes ever remembered was a vague dream similar to what she would have "seen" while her eyes were open. but it took very little to really wake her back up, as one time my parents got startled by her sleepwalking into their room and yelled and she immediately woke up and cried because she was scared too lol. she would flail and sometimes hit you but it was more of a startle response than anything and barely hurt, i couldnt imagine her doing such a complex series of violent acts in her sleep but im not an expert đ€·ââïž
Absolutely love your work. Allways.! Thank you.! Jess from Denmarkđ©đ°
Thank you so much! đ€
đžđȘ agree
But why he was not looking shocked after knowing that he murdered his wife.. not in court, not in custody... No remorse at all.
I sÄșept walked a few times as a teen and laid out mĂż whole uniform for school and woke my mom up. Other times as well. I hate these dreadful stories but absolutely love your channel. â€
The fact that she spoke and fought back, it would have spooked him awake. It was MURDER!!! I understand everyone sharing their experience but your experiences are different. Even the lady who said she woke up when her ex had his hands around her neck. If you had screamed for him to stop or fought back,he would have snapped out of it.
Its not about your experiences, its about the EVIDENCE!!!
So you acknowledge different experiences but also say that the speaking would've woken and therefore murder.
Brilliant work brainlet
My sister started sleepwalking after joining the JWs religious group. I screamed when she came crawling into my bedroom, and she snapped out of it and immediately got up and ran back to her room. đł
What gets me is what in the heck was the motive???
I was pondering that too. They did say he was about to loose his job, their plans would have been canceled, he sounded overwhelmed with other responsibilities. He might have had enough, in the moment, or longer, and perhaps grief could have been used as an excuse to start a "new" life. Just a thought though.
All those defensive wounds completely eliminate reasonable doubt. She was struggling and trying to fight him off as best she could. No way any sleepwalker would continue to sleep through *_all_* of that.
How can you tell?
He is obviously fibbing.
@@eadweard. How can I tell she had fourteen defensive wounds, fourteen slashes on her hands and 30 more deep, _deep_ slashes covering her stomach, chest, neck, all over her body? I find the best way to glean this information is by paying attention to the details of the case and not dozing off as it seems you mightâve. This method of mine also helped me learn about him quieting the dog during the commission of this murder, washing and bandaging the small cuts he got during the commission of this murder, and that his wife somehow (however briefly) lived through all these vicious stabbings, as her killer learned when he came _back_ to the crime scene four minutes later, shortly before he dragged her mutilated body into the pool and forcefully held her under water until she was finally, unmistakably dead. He then (again) changed clothes (back into his jammies), hid a whole bunch of evidence (including the _hunting_ _knife_ that heâd selected to inflict said 44 wounds), took off the gloves heâd put on (before inflicting said 44 wounds), etcâŠI really do find this method extremely helpful when trying to understand the details of a case, and I hope you give it a try sometime.
I lean towards guilty guilty guilty & guilty! Covering up after the effect is a dead giveaway! I look forward to your true crime every Saturday thank you for such hard work & great coverage!
I remember this case. It's always stuck with me. I grew up a few miles from where this happened and was the same age as their son. It's one I think about from time to time.
Iâve heard a lot of psychologists say that a sleepwalking person will never do something that they donât normally do in every day life because your brain is kind of on a repeat cycle. However, reading everybodyâs stories in the comments and knowing that my own brother used to try to run out of window, screaming on the second floor when he was sleepwalking, makes me think psychologists need to do A LOT more sleep studies in order to truly understand this type of neural phenomena.
Although, in this case, I donât believe he was sleepwalking. I think he might be a good actor, but his actions are not reminiscent of sleepwalking or night terrors. Might be bipolar or have DID or somethingâŠ
So glad I found you and subscribed! I continue to absolutely love the way you read and the audio quality of your videos. Thanks for the awesome content and handling sensitive information both calmly and respectfully. Look forward to each one :)
Thank you so much :) đ€
Thank you from your biggest fan in Seattle! â€ïžđđż
She had to be screaming and trying to push him away. How could that not wake him up, if he was actually sleepwalking?
No witness reported screaming.
I honestly think that when he killed his wife, he was in a state of sleep but the cleanup process, I think he was already awake by that point. He may have woken up while stabbing his wife, panicked and decided to cover it up instead.
That sounds about right
that makes sense
No confusion nor attempt to save his wife.
I've seen this case a couple times already. I would like to think he could have done it whilst sleep walking because, any murder is shocking however, I do not believe him due to the complicated actions and the swimming pool incident, also that his wife would have been struggling. With all those defensive wounds, she would have fought like hell which would have woken him up. He is a liar and a murderer who knew he was a sleepwalker and thought he could get away with it. I feel for his kids. They would want to believe their dad.
It was all an act and you canât tell me otherwise. He is a murderer and got caught.
How can you tell?
Truly Criminal posting a new video is like the pause button on whatever I'm doing at the moment.â€
I have been known to sleep walk, only ever ended up doing weird shit like peeing in the kitchen or waking somewhere different from when I went to sleep. This is a whole new level of BS tho.
I moved to Phoenix just after this. Thank you for telling this story.
I always look forward to seeing one pf your episodes every Saturday!!!!!
Yay! I hate these sad and horrific cases, but I have come to love đ your channel and get excited when I see a new episode- I like how straight forward, yet how compassionate you are when telling these stories.
Had his mother not mentioned he sleep walked as a kid, without that wot would be his defence except I donât remember
He did so many cleanup activities after to remove evidence for this not to be outright murder & that awful journalist asking that poor kid that question, heartless
If he was a doctor, nurse or something like that then I can totally see him washing his hands and putting on gloves as if doing his âdaily routineâ
But heâs not soooooooo đđđđđ
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Great channel. Thank you đ
This is a very strange case!! I don't believe that he was sleep walking, but I do know a person who got a concussion from a car accident and a few days later went to sleep and ended up in the hospital with ZERO memory of going to the hospital and ZERO memory of being there for 2 days! Their neurologist diagnosed this lack of memory as global amnesia. Very scary!!
I'm afraid I'm not buying it.
Yes, I believe he sleepwalked
but as stated it was a complex set of activities.
I just can't believe that *all* of it was conducted
in sleep state. Not something that severe.
Hi, love your channel, no music no excess that does not need to be there. Straight to point and concise. â€
If sleepwalking was such a huge problem, his wife would have known about it and taken measures to protect herself and the children.
She knew what his sleepwalking looked like and it *NEVER* amounted to anything like this.
Why is the onus on the wife to protect herself? Why would you hold her responsible for HIS actions? Let me help you with this one- If HE knew it was a problem (which he did), then HE should have taken measures to protect HIS family.
â@KaroHenry-dy1rv Calm down. It sounds like the op is saying that his defense doesn't make sense. "HE. SHE"! đ
Amaing episode! I'm from (and live in) Phoenix and learned several things I'd never heard before.
Stoooooooooopppppppppppppp HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID!!! and as for the mother and the family no I donât believe them because theyâre his family, and theyâll say anything. There is too many things that he did that wouldâve woken him up from his sleep. If indeed he was sleeping, he was not prepared for the neighbor to look over that wall, and that threw a wrench in his plan.
Do you know a lot about sleepwalking?
I feel for this lad. I too suffer terribly from sleepwalking. During one particularly bad episode it turned out that I had invaded Poland. Tough times.

Between this channel and Curios&Spiritual my Saturdays are epic â€
This could be him sleepwalking, however, it sets the world record, for complex logical actions while sleepwalking.
I find it interesting that the accounts of him sleepwalking as a child came only from his mother. (If it was true, she would have told him at the time. You would think he would have known that about himself, enough to say, "Well, I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid..." -- during the initial interrogation. But he never mentioned it.) And his mother was present when the neighbour was interviewed (why??). She could easily have told the neighbour, away from the police, that her son was a sleepwalker, and the neighbour adjusted his story ever so slightly to reflect this "new information".
The bandaid. No way heâs sleeping.
This whole case is just tragic, sad and terrifying.
Sleepwalker here đââïž My husband once found me trying to fry an egg in the middle of our kitchen on the tile. He calmly pretended like he ate it so he could appease me. This shit still cracks me up. He said I went back to bed and I literally donât remember anything. There are so many stories heâs told me but he said Iâve never ever once been violent, mean, or really aware enough to make the calculated decisions that this man did. As much as I wish it was sleepwalking, because it would be one less psychopath on this earth⊠he wasnât sleep walking. (Iâm not a doctor. This is my personal opinion and I respect everyone elseâs as well).
I already knew about this story and I knew that Scott was found guilty. It is a strange story and yet again, it was so good to hear it again from Truly Criminal and from the best narrator on the Internet. I always look forward to Saturdays and a new drama. RIP Yarmila, may the Angels give you wings to fly.
I knew someone who sleepwalked out of the first floor bedroom window and broke his leg! He was advised to have a piece of linoleum at his side of the bed so that the cold sensation to his bare feet would wake him up, Iâm not sure if this was a successful solution.
Why wouldnt the neighbor at least yell at Scott so he knew he was being watched n idk maybe stop drowning his wife. Did that juror really just say there was no witness??26:24 Does old information just fall out of ppls heads when new info is added?
Probably not intelligent to alert someone you see committing a violent murder that you are witnessing said murder.
@@BA-xq2sk there was a fence between them. He literally could of just yelled hey or I see u or what r u doing n run bk in his house n the guy probably would've stopped.
There was no witness to the stabbing. The neighbour said he saw her by the pool, then in the pool.
@@50sRockChick she had water in her lungs so she actually died from the drowning which means he witnessed her death. Watched her head being held under.
If it hadn't happened to me I wouldn't of believed it. I took apart an gas meter while under the influence of sleeping tablets. I couldn't remember what happened 30 mins prior.
I wonder if Connie Chung regrets asking his children those questions. That was done specifically just for the views. Despicable.
My heart breaks for the kids.
My father went into the kitchen at 3 am. He saw someone walking up to the door. We lived in the country, so this was extra-unusual. It was me. Sleepwalking. He asked what I was doing. I said I met my friend at the road. I remember none of it. No shoes, gravel driveway and road.
The neighbour shouting, "Hey, don't do that," may have scared the husband enough to stop the murder. Why did he just watch quietly?
I sometimes do and say very strange things in my sleep,but there always comes a point where you realise that you ve been asleep. Usually when my wife is laughing at me. Thank God, I've never been violent, but i reckon, even then, there would come a point where you realise that you've been asleep.
Is it just me, but i watch A LOT of true crime creators, and it seems like a lot of spouse or child killers, or family annihilators, are 7th Day Mormon ?
Ive been seeing so many cases lately.
Strange coincidence. Immediately after joining JW's religion, my sister started to sleepwalk. I screamed one night after she came crawling into my bedroom, and she snapped out of it. She looked demonic.
Imo he was likely going to kill the kids too had the neighbour not called the police. Family anhilator caught midway through his crime, motive- his "perfect" life was about to fall apart
Thank you â€đ
This one is so sad and hard to determine how I feelâŠthe description of how the neighbour said he thought he was looking at him but never really acknowledged, how he seemed to be robotic, the fact that he has an actual history of sleepwalking, his reaction to it all even is not of someone trying to cover for themselvesâŠand then the fact that there is zero evidence of anything wrong in their marriage. Normally someone trying to fake some kind of reason for killing, youâll find a secret life or SOME kind of reason for them wanting to kill their spouse. But thereâs none of that here! I really think I lean towards his sleepwalking being trueâŠvery tragic either way and I feel so sorry for their kids. Rest in Peace Yarmila đ«¶đŒ
He had been having a hard time at work and facing a possible layoff. Itâs not unheard of for people to snap and take their stress out on their partner and immediately regret it. Even if he started out sleepwalking, he would definitely had woken up during the attack, it even woke the neighbour up. Also we donât know what was going on in their marriage, people donât always confide in friends about arguments etc. Itâs also stated he wasnât supportive and she had no support, so I donât think he was a particularly good husband at times.
You have to learn what kind of people psychopaths are. The robotic motion lines up with psychopathy, so does the lack of a motive, and the lack of emotion/remorse. Whatâs most evident is opportunity, he committed the act when he believed the was no witnesses

I see what you are saying but being under pressure at work and/or not being a particularly good husband at times doesn't mean that you are going to murder your wife.
If so, a LOT of us wives would be murdered by our husbands, wouldn't we?
The husband is trash⊠he murdered his wife. And heâs a liar.
The fact that she wanted to leave, didnât want to be part of his very strict and controlling Mormon religion, and didnât have her wedding ring on should make it very obvious what happened here. To anyone that has more than four braincells.
When a video starts with religion, you know it's going to end in tears.
Or secret debauchery! đź
Especially where your ridiculous bias still doesn't see religion had nothing to do with it even at the end of the story!!! Such critical thinking skills are rare!!!
@@Arckiviocritical thinking skills and following a religion are mutually exclusive. Totally not like most religion is used to control or spread dangerous, hateful ideas âŠ.oh wait, it is. Letâs not forget the crusades or the Christian homophobia of modern times. Go back to reading fairytales about sky daddy and being a fake victim
The religious aspects of the story weren't even considered as having anything to do with the murder, not providing motive, means or opportunity. Those details were only added to provide color and to help you empathize with the main characters of the story, not least the victim. The storyteller could just have easily have filled that part of the video with their history of ice-cream purchases or parking tickets and the conclusion would have been exactly the same., which is why religion wasn't mentioned past the early stage of the video.
â@@Ally64217some of the greatest thinkers have deep religious convictions. Feel free to remain in your ignorance and arrogance.
Great reporting!
I'm a long term subscriber and love your channel, but would love your narration to be a little slower, please. Just a short pause between sentences, not slower speaking overall.
Your voice and the research/ content are brilliant đ
He seems to be more active when he is asleep, than when he is awake. His story
is ridiculous, he is guilty and lying.
How can you tell?
Just because you know how one person sleepwalks, doesnât mean you know how everyone sleepwalks.
Sleepwalking isnât even a factor here. Anyone who honestly thinks it is, is beyond gullible, theyâre actually flat out stupid.
True, but even the people who have racked up unknown credit card debt to driving to a store, it was still regular life activities. Nothing criminal. I was more likely to hurt myself than someone else.
There is sleepwalking, his was a wide range of activities. His wife must have
screamed or tried to protect herself, he would then have woken up. Washing
his hands and then continuing to kill his wife, not exactly while asleep.
I agree with you. This isnât garden-variety sleepwalking. This is a rare and dangerous sleep disorder.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
